An extremely accurate set of squares that are particularly valuable in setting up power tools. The boxed set of four Engineer's Squares, made by the engineering firm we use in India, is a convenient way to acquire a range of the most useful sizes and get a very nice fitted wood storage box at the same time.

The quality for all our Engineer's Squares is guaranteed to meet, or exceed, the British Engineering Standard BS939 of ±0.0005" per linear inch for squareness. This set of four (2", 3", 4" and 6" sizes) also comes at a savings over the cost of the individual sizes. The 2 & 4" sizes are not sold separately.

Checked the squares against masters and they were very accurate. The only problem is the box. It needs more padding in the lid to keep the squares in place. They could fall out of place and get dinged up. I solved the problem with a shop towel.

These Will Do The Job

Reviewed By:

Ben(Orcas, Washington)

These squares are what I expected. You get what you pay for and these are inexpensive. The finish is good. I can't tell if they are welded and then machined or cast and machined. Checking them with each other and with my Starrett combination square they are all the same and for my comparison are square. The box issue is a real issue and given previous complaints I expected it to be fixed. Simply put there is a gap in the foam filling between the fitted nesting foam and the lid foam which should hold them in their respective spaces. Adding a 1/4" foam sheet will do the trick although Garret Wade should request that the manufacturer fix it in the next batch they order.

Great Squares For The Price

Reviewed By:

Rick(Pittsburgh, PA)

I have been searching for affordable engineers squares, and saw this in a catalog. I figured for the price, I would give them a shot. It turned out to be a good decision. The are heavy, well-made and very, very accurate. I use them to square up saw blades to the fence and/or table. They are dead on. I would highly recommend these over far more expensive ones.

Good Squares

Reviewed By:

Paul(Foxboro, Mass)

I received these squares for Christmas this year, they were an item I asked for use keeping my saws in tune. They won't sit out all the time so the storage box seemed like a great idea. Really the box is my only issue with the set, once placed in the storage case the set fails to remain in place when the box is manipulated to be put away. I'm afraid the squares are going to dinged up as they slide all over the place inside the storage box.

Great Set-Up Squares

I build a lot of small jewelry boxes and these squares are great for checking the sides for square. I also bought the 12" combo square. I checked each against the others and they're all dead on. Great addition to my woodworking tool box.

I worked in a machine shop for 17 years of my professional life and while I'm certain these squares would not stand up to "tool crib" standards, the set I received will suffice any chore I'll ever put them to quite proudly including keeping my shop machinery well adjusted and in good working order, which is largely what I purchased them for to begin with.

model construction

Reviewed By:

Tom Kerr(Palm Coast, Florida)

I love these squares because of the precision and quality of construction. I have always wondered about how "square" other squares actually where. Some that I have purchased in the past have proven to be not exactly square. I have a lot of confidence in the engineer's squares...it is critical when building r/c model airplanes that everything be built "true". These squares are one of my most prized possessions in my shop.

Great accuracy and value

Reviewed By:

Todd Forman(Holliston , MA)

I bought a 6" machinist's square from G.W. several years ago, and was thrilled with the accuracy, until I stored it improperly and bent the blade.
I searched for a replacement for several months, and kept coming back to this set. When I finally ordered it, I was really happy with the accuracy of these squares. I tested them all against my Starret, and all were dead on. Woodworking is my hobby, and I'm a stickler for accurate set up. (My time in the shop is limited, so I hate wasting it on mistakes). This set of squares is perfect for setting up my stationary and hand held power tools, as well as for checking stock. I've looked everywhere, and I couldn't find a comperable set at a better price.

It's a Square Deal!

Reviewed By:

KevinT.(Fairbanks, AK)

I purchased this set of squares a while back and I am glad I did. When they arrived I checked them for accuracy and was happy to find they were right on. For the price they are a good purchase for the budget minded woodworker. The only thing that would make them better is if they had measurements etched in the blades of each square. With that said they are still a square deal in my opinion and would recommend them other woodworkers who are looking for a basic set of engineer's squares but don't want to spend a bundle.
